ECCO LEATHER
Adopted leather from ECCO®︎ LEATHER
ECCO®︎ LEATHER has its own tanneries (leather production factories) in four countries and produces advanced leather that specializes in sustainability and innovation that is kind to the environment, society, and people around the world.
ITTI actively uses leather from ECCOO®︎ LEATHER.
Respecting tradition while constantly updating with the latest technology
All of ECCO®︎ LEATHER's efforts are fundamentally sustainable, with all four of its tanneries having been certified with Gold Rank, the world's highest rank, by the leather industry auditing organization LWG (Leather Working Group).
We are also actively participating in Apple's Green Energy Program (reducing carbon dioxide emissions and producing products using 100% clean energy).
In order to create a base that is as close to natural as possible, even the finished leather will have many scratches and unevenness; this is also proof that the leather is produced with a sustainable idea in mind, with none of the leather being thrown away, and as there is no problem with quality, ITTI does not avoid using all of the leather.
Enjoy materials created through cutting-edge initiatives and technology that are different from the standard, traditional, highest quality leather.
No unnecessary water is used in the production process
ECCO®︎ LEATHER's DriTan™ technology has revolutionized leather manufacturing, which requires large amounts of water.
DriTan™️ is a process in the leather tanning process that utilizes the moisture naturally contained in raw hides. It reduces the amount of water needed to tan one piece of raw hide by about 20 liters, saving about 25 million liters of water per year.
This is equivalent to the amount of water used by 9,000 people for a year. The leather produced using this method is in no way inferior to leather produced using conventional processes in terms of quality, texture, durability, and manufacturing time.
By not needing large amounts of water, we have succeeded in minimizing wastewater discharge and chemical usage.
